My parents are picking me up soon to head to eastern Norway, with a night's stopover at our cabin in the mountains and tomorrow we'll be at a seaside resort hotel where we'll be holding a family arrangement that takes place every two years. It was meant to be arranged in 2020 put got put off because of the pandemic, then attempted arranged in 2021 but put off again because of Covid restrictions bu... » Continue Reading
So I consider myself officially out of the woods in regards to the Covid I had upon returning from Germany earlier last month but lately I'm experiencing random periods of falling asleep and feeling really tired although I go to bed at midnight or sometimes even earlier. Is this a thing with others having had Covid, when they are no longer at risk of infecting others and can pretty much live life ... » Continue Reading
My parents and I all did rapid self tests yesterday after having experienced stuffed noses, runny eyes and itchy throats since coming back home from Germany on Friday so to be on the safe side, we decided to test ourselves. And our tests all came back positive. We have never caught covid in these past two years and for the longest time, I thought I'd end up as a "never covid" case because there ha... » Continue Reading
I'm going to Bavaria, Germany tomorrow with my parents where we'll stay at a golf resort a little ways from Munich and I can't wait to go! I'm not gonna be playing golf myself as I've never really been a fan of the sport, it's too tedious and boring for me but the hotel and the place itself looks amazing from pics I've seen and there is a gym and a pool there and you can get massage treatment ther... » Continue Reading
I'm taking the train to our cabin at 14:45 today so I've got a good few hours still before I have to go to the tram stop that will take me to the train station where my train will take me to our cabin at the quaint little cabin community of Ustaoset, a nice little mountain village here in Norway. I'll be staying up th » Continue Reading
The whole western part of Norway woke up to an earthquake around 6 AM this morning, the quake had its epicenter off the Norwegian coast in the North Sea and had a 4, 6 magnitude, pretty weak on a global scale (especially for countries like the US and Asian countries that are used to having stronger quakes) but Norway rarely ever gets earthquakes and even magnitude 3 ones make the news headlines an... » Continue Reading
Got these questions from a bulletin Fr@nk tHe taNK posted and seeing as I was an avid MySpace user back in the day, I figured they would be the perfect way to relive those days. What year did you stop using Myspace and why? Probably around 2010 or thereabouts as their entire layout changed and as Facebook startedd taking over more and more. What year did you join? Sometime in the fall o » Continue Reading
So yesterday after having taken my Moderna booster dose, I went home and felt okay for the rest of the day but figured I'd spend today at home in case of any side effects. And sure enough, I woke up with chills all over my body (never have my blanket in my bed ever felt so good to lie under!), felt a slight dizziness » Continue Reading
So today I'm scheduled to take my third Covid-19 vaccine in a hall called Åsanehallen, in the Åsane borough of Bergen, which lies north of the city center and it's a bit further away than the last two places where I had my other two shots of the vaccine, but with a light rail-bus transfer, I'll manage and be able to get there without any trouble, although I've never been at this hall before. I've ... » Continue Reading
Today seven years ago I went on the plane from Bergen, Norway to London, UK with my parents where we would stay in London for a few days before driving to Southampton where I had enrolled in philosophy studies. The weekend in London was spent visiting the National History Museum where I got to geek out over their dinosaur section (being the dinosaur nerd I am lol), I went to see Aaron Carter in co... » Continue Reading
So back in December of 2004 I got this crazy spontaneous idea to dye my hair blonde haha. I went to a hairdresser and got it dyed and the experience of getting it dyed was quite fascinating. They first "painted" my hair with my dye of choice and I could literally both feel and see it getting lighter and they also used aluminum foil on my head which to me » Continue Reading
Kim Friele, one of the most visible LGBTQIA+ activists in Norway, passed away yesterday evening and Norway woke up to the sad news this morning. Born in 1935, she was the first openly lesbian to be interviewed on national TV, the first to enter partnership when that became legal, on the frontlines all her life and a true hero. She has paved the way and been such a trailblazer and without her, Norw... » Continue Reading
